Description

Jane Eyre’s winemaking journey may have taken her deep into Burgundy’s hallowed vineyards, but there’s still something special about seeing her name on a bottle of Mornington Pinot.

This 2023 release comes from a single vineyard in Shoreham Park, planted in the late 1990s. It’s a beautifully poised Pinot, fermented with 20% whole bunches and aged in French oak (10% new) for 10 months. In classic Jane fashion, there’s no over-extraction or heavy oak - just a quiet confidence and clarity that lets the fruit and place shine.

Aromatically, it’s vivid and wild: redcurrants, rhubarb and sour cherry meet herbal spice, rose petals, and just a flicker of Campari-esque bitterness. The palate is fine and detailed, sitting right in that sweet spot between prettiness and power. Tannins are soft and grippy, giving form to the wine’s juicy core and framing it all with purpose.

Compared to the Yarra release, this is slightly more generous and full-fruited, though it carries the same finely drawn line and calm intensity that has become Jane’s signature. It’s an excellent expression of modern Mornington Pinot - lively, pure, and quietly complex.

96 points
"The whole bunch adds a crackling component here, an autumnal rustle, which is suffused with fruit as the wine is buoyed with air, redcurrant and wild red cherry unfurling. Carraway, rhubarb, clove and a dried orange peel/Campari note add complexity. There’s lovely poise and clarity here, while tannins are pleasingly meaningful. It’s a very nice release."

Style & Notes:

Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre has a crazy story. A Melbourne hairdresser who decided, in her own words, she didn’t want to own a salon and wasn’t quite great at hair, so why not make wine? Fast forward to now, and she’s one of the most respected names working in Burgundy. First Aussie ever named Négociant of the Year by La Revue du Vin de France. First woman, too. No big deal.

What we love about Jane is how grounded her winemaking is. There’s no flash, no ego - just clean, focused wines that absolutely hum with energy. She works as a micro-négociant, buying fruit from tiny parcels, building long-term relationships with growers, and often farming the same rows every vintage.

Her style leans toward the elegant and expressive: light touch, gentle extractions, minimal new oak. She talks about whole bunch as a seasoning tool. These are wines that feel good - fine tannins, bright fruit, beautiful transparency. They drink effortlessly but reward attention.

While Burgundy is home, Jane still makes time for Australia, crafting superb Pinot from the Yarra and Mornington. Her wines across both hemispheres share a through-line: clarity, balance, and a kind of quiet confidence that you don’t forget.

Jane in her cellars in Burgundy. Jane Eyre

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
